T never miss going there when pass through Philadelphia, he said, for it brings up before my mind freshly all the old worthies who built the country on the Independence rock.'

The Morse Infringement Suit Against
 fha Wfncheaier Arna ComnanY.

The suit of the Morse Arms Manufacturing company against the Winchester Repeating Arms company of New Haven occupied the United States court at Hartford all of We'd nesday, and will probably be on trial several days. The chief point of infringement is in the construction of the brech block of re- beating firearms. This is now made loose fit, and the expansion of the cartridge at the moment of firing prevents leakage of gas and loss of projectile power. The patents in question are, in general way, for the change from an attempted perfect fit which always leaked more or less under the action of the weather, or of the immense pressure of gas at the moment of firing. The matter of the traction of shells and number of other points are involved but the one named is the principal.

 NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
 The continuous laughter and frequent applause which greeted the appearance of MT, Mestayer and his company in "We, Us evening proved that both play and players are as funny and as clever as ever. The piece has been slightly changed since it was last presented here and there are one or two new faces in the company. MT. Mestayer was as ludicrous as usual in his character of TT. Willie Rockinghamn and so was MT. George Richards as f'Dr. Medicus." MT. Gus Bruno as ''Kno1 Dunlap" was funnier than ever before. His most absurd repre- sentation of the invalid dancing master seems to improve with age. Miss Theresa Vaughn has always been favorite here, and at the conclusion of her first solo, fsWhere can nay lover be" received hand excellent voice, and has new songs every time she visits us. Everything she does is natural and refined, and this good example is followed by all the ladies of the company. Miss Rokerta Crawford, formerly of the Co., rinne company, and, in fact, all the members of the company came in for their share of the applause. The play will be repeated to- night and o-morrow afternoon and evening. As long as Manager Wall continues to furnish such frst-class attractions as "Erminie," "We, Us 6 Co., and ''The Ratcstcher" he will continue to have large audiences.
